This spring’s college graduates will enter a relatively good job market, a survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers has found. Early data indicate that the overall average starting salary offer for graduates is 4 percent higher than it was at this time last year.
Among the graduates who can expect the biggest increases: those with degrees in marketing, engineering, and technical fields. The average offer for computer-science majors rose 7.9 percent, to $56,921 from $52,738.
More information about the survey is available on the association’s Web site. —Eric Hoover
